Just have two ends to disentangle (4-6)

I believe the answer is:

even-handed

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'just have two ends to disentangle' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this defines the answer.

'just have two ends' is the wordplay.
'two ends' can mean two substitutions for 'end'.
'just' indicates an anagram (I've seen this in other clues).
'have'+'end'+'end'='haveendend'
'haveendend' anagrammed gives 'EVEN-HANDED'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Another definition for even-handed that I've seen is " Fair, impartial".)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
